BaseYii createObject()

Creates a new object using the given configuration.

You may view this method as an enhanced version of the new operator. The method supports creating an object based on a class name, a configuration array or an anonymous function.

Below are some usage examples:

// create an object using a class name
$object = Yii::createObject('yii\db\Connection');

// create an object using a configuration array
$object = Yii::createObject([
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=demo',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
]);

// create an object with two constructor parameters
$object = \Yii::createObject('MyClass', [$param1, $param2]);

Using dependency injection container, this method can also identify dependent objects, instantiate them and inject them into the newly created object.
